Oct 19, 2011 7:21:01 Tigones are large, feline creatures with black/yellow-brown vertical stripes. They have developed psionic powers to enhance their senses and disable their prey. They hunt in packs.
They are native to the the ringing mountain region and do not survive well in deserts.
They are highly prized by arena masters.
Halflings have been known to raise tigones from birth as hunting animals.

Tactics: Tigones will try and spread out to avoid hitting other pack members in their blasts. They avoid targetting each other.
They use their blast initially on as many enemies as possible to try and daze as many as possible between them in the 1st round.
They'll only reserve the blast if all accessible targets are dazed before their turn.

The blast shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Because they use it as a group at the beginning, it's just an initial salvo of effect which the party then breaks out of on subsequent rounds.
Also, because they are Soldiers, they just go into melee mode for the rest of the encounter. Which makes being dazed less of a disadvantage than when facing Skirmishers, Artillery or Controllers.
